He's asking for a feature change to allow the on-the fly pitching of the
music on a per-category or per-cut basis. This is much easier to do on
the fly than modify the whole library and have to re-encode if the
competitive situation changes or they decide an increase or decrease in
the amount of pitch is necessary.
All the major systems have this function. MediaTouch permits it on a
per-category basis. It is a presentation effect much like jingles.
This is one of the features that Rivendell doesn't currently accommodate
that prevents us from making the switch.
Unfortunately my coding skills are caught up in the : 10 Print "Hello"
20 END era.

Hi,
The only feature that I know of in Rivendell is the time stretch as
supported on the ASI cards.
If you really wanted to do a speed / pitch change, then I would think
the best place to do that would be in a production studio prior to audio
import (and while I am not one to want to do something like a
speed/pitch change, if someone really wanted to do this I'd give this
same advice regardless of automation system). That way you can factor
in the human element to find something that will work in your market,
rather then just relying on a database/computer setting and hoping for
the best (from what I've observed, stations that just set something up
and hope for the best usually have ratings which reflect the same).
At the moment Rivendell can't do what you're asking, however it is open
source - so if you wanted to write some code to do this, that's one of
the beauties of open source!

I am still wishing to pitch shift speed
the music, leave ids and spots. This
should be a feature implemented in
RDLibrary. Running a Top 40 station,
it is almost a must have in my market
as the other pop stations speed their
music up. I had emailed Fred directly
with no response, so hopefully this
gets seen.
Do not mistake this request for time
stretching, this is an actual speed
change, affecting both time and pitch.
Almost all play out systems have this
feature, and would make Rivendell the
perfect automation system for ANY
format station.
